Rick Yancey

“Articulately literary, horrifically grotesque and mind-bendingly complex, Yancey’s trilogy conclusion might be the best of the Monstrumologist trilogy. His 19th-century dialogue and descriptions run even smoother than the previous two titles, and his characters have grown deeply complex. He deftly blurs lines between science and the supernatural, and what results is a long, dark-night-of-the-soul journey for both Will Henry and Pellinore that is certain to turn the hearts and the stomachs of every reader who dares open its pages.”

Lapcharoensap will give a reading at Vanderbilt University in Nashville on October 20.

NYT-bestselling author Marisa de los Santos talks with Chapter 16 about love and friendship in her new novel
October 10, 2011 As she did in her first two novels (Love Walked In and Belong To Me), Marisa de los Santos carefully explores the nuances of every type of love—filial, familial, and romantic—in her new novel, Falling Together.
